Father Gu's depressed heart, which was caused by the eldest son's wife's words, was instantly soothed.
He nodded with satisfaction and said, "I'll accept the money given by the second brother's family, and I'll just make up for it with other subsidies in the future."
Brother Gu looked at the quilt in Mother Gu's hand, and for a moment he felt indescribable.
It was like a fist hitting cotton. My own wife kept pestering me about the pheasant my parents gave her as a gift. She didn't give the old man any of the meat and wanted to take the pheasant for herself.
And they gave the old man mutton and a quilt, so how could it be less than a pheasant? This is called reciprocity, courtesy and propriety. When you compare the two, the difference is obvious.
If he were an old man, he would also be partial to such people. After all, no one wants to raise an ungrateful person, right?
Although the two elders didn't say anything else, he felt ashamed instantly. His idea of ​​protecting his wife and challenging the second elder's family today was totally wrong. He hurt his parents' feelings and also severed his relationship with the second elder's family.
He walked out silently without saying a word, feeling mixed emotions.
Father Gu looked at his eldest son's back with disappointment. Children who have not experienced the hardships of life always have small hearts and cannot handle big things.
"Boss, let's divide the household items and food money this afternoon. From now on, you will have to rely on yourselves. I'm old and want to live a quiet life for a few years.
Right now, your mother and I can still do it, so we don't need your filial piety. When we can no longer do it, you and the second son can just give us some money and food every year." Father Gu said earnestly. Today's incident had also dealt a deep blow to this resolute old man.
"Dad, we were wrong." Brother Gu turned around and knelt upright at the door, looking at his father sadly.
He shouldn't have indulged his daughter-in-law's pettiness and lost the big picture for the sake of small gains.
"Okay, you can go back." Father Gu waved his hand.
Mother Gu still felt sorry for her son, so she quickly put down what she was holding and went to pull him up.
"Boss, what are you doing? Get up quickly. Your dad and I don't blame you. You should live a good life in the future.
You should talk to Shufen yourself and don't let her drive herself crazy for her son.
Your father's words today were indeed a bit harsh, but if you ask yourself, we were afraid that you would be sad over the years, so we have indeed neglected to take care of our eldest and second children, and we owe them a lot.
We treat all the children in our family equally, and even take better care of your two.
The second family is not angry yet, but you are angry first. What you did today was really not right.
"The second family treats Da Ni and Er Ni so well, often giving them snacks, fruits and candies, and letting them have a bite of good food. You are making such a fuss and it has chilled their feelings. How are we going to deal with them in the future?" Mother Gu advised earnestly.
What Mother Gu didn't say was that today she also saw her son clearly. The eldest son who seemed to be extremely filial and reliable on weekdays, when it came to interests, he still thought about his own family.
Relying on heaven, earth, parents or children is unreliable. It is best to rely on yourself in this life.
"Mom, we were wrong." Brother Gu shouted uncomfortably and walked away somewhat dejectedly.
When Li Qingyun returned home, Erni was playing with Erbao on the bed, competing to see who could crawl faster, which made Erbao laugh out loud. Dani was guarding the kang, fearing that Erbao would fall accidentally. She was indeed a good sister.
These two children are good kids, but now that there has been such a mess over there, Yan Shufen will definitely not let the two children come to study or play here in the future.
"You two girls have worked hard. Here, I'll give each of you a big twist as a reward." Li Qingyun saw the snacks on the kang cabinet and knew that they didn't dare to touch them, so she took the initiative to share the twisted dough with them.
"Thank you, Second Aunt."
"Thanks"
The two little sisters stood obediently by the kang and ate fried dough twists.
Li Qingyun mixed milk for Erbao to drink.
"Second Aunt had a big fight with your mother today. If she doesn't let you come to study in the future, remember to find ways to improve yourself and be positive.
Knowledge changes destiny. Even if you don't learn knowledge, you should learn more skills. Many skills are always better than none. Only those who endure hardships can become successful. "Li Qingyun said while feeding her second child.
This is all she can do for these two children, and she may not be able to help them in any way in the future.
Erni is still a little confused, but Dani already understands a lot of things and can distinguish right from wrong. She is often educated by her grandparents and knows that her mother's behavior is wrong.
But she couldn't blame her mother and felt very embarrassed. The fried dough twist in her hand no longer smelled fragrant. She liked the atmosphere at her second aunt's house and wanted to learn knowledge from Dabao, but her mother would definitely not allow her to come in the future.
Some of the things I learned from Dabao during this period have been applied to every aspect of my life, which is amazing.
"What are you doing? Eat quickly and go home after you finish eating, or your parents will come to me and ask for me to come back."
A fierce quarrel also broke out between Gu Tingchuan and Yan Shufen.
"What do your parents mean by this? It's so obvious that they are biased. They are poking fun at me in front of us. Your dad is only thinking about his two grandsons, Dabao and Erbao, and doesn't care about our two children at all." Yan Shufen complained loudly as soon as she saw the man coming back.
Gu Tingchuan glanced at her coldly and said, "Do you know what was in the package that the second son's wife threw at you?
That is a quilt specially sent for my parents!
Yan Shufen, you've been married into our family for so many years, have you ever bought a single needle and thread for your parents? Their cotton-padded jackets and quilts no longer keep them warm, and they stay huddled in bed in the cold of winter, and you never even mention it.
All you care about is the little things in front of you, and you still have the nerve to say that others are biased. If it were me, I would be biased too."
